customers

It's no secret that online review sections have become a battleground of sorts between entitled customers and concerned owners with a whole lot of time on their hands. What gets sweet is when a lying customer gets taken to the cleaners, like this lying Karen who got decimated by this owner's response. For more retail stuff, here are dumb complaints employees had to deal with.

It's no question that employees are wary of customers. Most customers are fine, but the few who love to put retail workers in precarious positions are the kind of folks who will never be forgotten. For one that ended with more justice, here's a lying Karen that got decimated by the owner's response.

The life of a barista is a weird one. When every customer you have is someone who hasn't had their first coffee of the day, there's no knowing what kind of people can lumber in. Some take on the challenge and become a barista that's the living definition of chaotic good. Others just stand in awe and watch a 46-year-old woman drink 8 Red Bulls worth of caffeine in a single swig.

Translation fails inspire all kinds of hilarious confusion between two perfectly rational human beings. In this case, we have a customer unknowingly repeatedly pleading for nothing at all. If you're the bartender on the other side of that mishap, do you let the oblivious stupidity persist, or do you correct the translation fail as soon as possible? Could be a tough call if you end up wanting to have some fun with it. 

When it comes to entitled and mistaken customers, there can be a lot that gets in the way of everyone getting what they want. In this case, it was the few customers who made nuisance (about a deposit they were told in advance) that got them put directly down a chute of harsh consequences.

Leaving a review isn't always as simple as saying whatever you want about what happened. Case in point, this lying Karen getting decimated by an owner's response. Some business owners watch their reviews like a hawk, and they make time go into serious detail about what actually went down.

Sure, if the hill you're willing to die on costs four cents out of the charity bin, go ahead and die on that hill. Customers sometimes make demands with stupid implications, like this customer who wanted a pound of chicken wings and got less wings or this guy who demanded to ride in a go kart with no engine.

Customers often suffer from the problem of not knowing what they want, and then being extremely stern demanding that thing. For example, this customer who wanted exactly a pound of wings and got less wings, or this customer who demanded to use an engineless go kart. In this case it was a woman who demanded a refilled donut, and it went about as well as you'd expect.

These memes make us want to pull a no call, no show.

This unfaithful bastard had it coming. The fact he went and ate at the same restaurant with his wife AND side chick just screams careless stupidity. 

Most of us have had to work terrible customer service jobs at some point just to make ends meet. These jobs are too often underappreciated and can really humble you - whether you like it or not. You've got to deal with awful customers, terrible pay, and doing jobs you really don't want to do.

So here's to you, customer service workers! Just know that we appreciate all you do!

Sweet, could be a stretch here, but the point is that this customer service rep. stepped up in a helpful way, when they encountered a dissatisfied customer, who didn't get that good 'ol watermelon rancher they were looking for. And helpfulness is a whole different kind of sweet. Good on them. 

Most of us have or will have to work in some sort of customer service job at some point in our lives. The industry can be great; you meet tons of people, make tips, and eat a whole bunch of delicious free food if you work in a restaurant. Perhaps the biggest downsides are the whole being-poor thing, and the fact that you have to occasionally deal with horrible customers who make you want to punch a brick wall!

If it's too cheap to be true, then it damn well is...

Fred Josephson Jr. is a dog lover and the powerhouse behind Josephson Hardwoods. He's the third generation proprietor of the family business, keeping the hardwoods gleaming, the dad jokes flowing, and the weekly dog photos popping on the company's Facebook page. When Fred Jr's son, Dillon, gave his dad a shoutout on Twitter, the dog lovers of social media went wild. We hopped over to Josephson Hardwood Floors on Facebook and pulled together some of our very favorite employees of the week for you to enjoy. This is so cute!  

These customers are in dire need of a reality check. The toxic entitlement, blatant rudeness is next-level.
